2 The German Energy Agency (dena). Shareholders 50% German Government Represented by: Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) Federal Ministry of Transportation, Construction and Housing (BMVBW) Key Facts Founded in 2001 in Berlin Competence Centre for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies National and International Projects 80+ employees Managing Board: Stephan Kohler, Andrea Weinert 50% KfW Group 2

3 Climate Change: The Challenge of the 21st Century. Proven facts: Rise of the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere of more than 30% during industrialization Combustion of fossil fuels is main reason for CO 2 increase Global warming is by 90 % chance caused by mankind 3

4 German Renewable Energy Policies. Situation 2000 Situation Goals in primary energy 2.1% 4,6% 4.2% 10% Goals in electric power 4.5% 10,2% (2006: 11,9%) 12.5% 20% Ecological tax reform Support for development and expansion of RE technologies under the new EEG (Renewable Energy Law) Market incentive program ( 213 million planned for 2007) Low taxes for biogenic fuels 4

5 EEG (Renewable Energy Law): Legal Foundations. Federal law (further development of the Power Feed-In Law of 1991) Priority for feed-in of RE Extensive regulation for grid access Legally regulated payment rates Long-term perspective and investment security (15 30 years) Incentive for the opening up of new potentials and technologies (esp. biomass and geothermal energy) Strong incentive for efficiency boost, by degression of payment rates Source: BMU

6 Feed In Rate under the EEG for Duration (yrs) Hydropower Cents/kWh Degression % Biomass Geothermal energy Wind energy (onshore) Wind energy (offshore) Photovoltaics % 1.0% (as of 1 Jan. 2010) 2.0% 2.0% (as of 1 Jan. 2008) % 6

9 The Market Incentive Program. is financed with revenues from the ecological tax reform supports the construction of systems to generate heat from renewable energy sources with a volume of 213 million /year it is the largest subsidy programme of its kind in Europe provides a supplemental subsidy loan for larger systems utilising solid biomass, biogas, and deep geothermal plants. Status at the end of 2005: 400,000 solar collector systems and 60,000 small biomass boilers subsidised, ca loans with a volume of 740 million approved between the program start in 1999 and the end of 2005 more than 485,000 projects have been supported; subsidies of 588 million and loans set 4.9 billion worth of investments in motion 9
